  They have Sailor Jerrys rum here. That in itself gives them legit status! Very cool vibe. Nice addition to Old Town. Great craft beer selection. Limited food, but a nice touch just in case. Definitely worth a try!

  Well....its new. And its great that a new business has come and reopened this old vacant building...that being said I felt the decor needs to warm up some...be more relaxing and cozy. Dim the lights and enhance the character and charm a bit...perhaps they already have this in mind?! But we enjoyed the good service and drinks and will be back to support their efforts.

  Management please help. We have been to Zoobies a couple times. Both times, horrible service. The last time we went we sat for 10 minutes waiting ... Probably about 6 people in the bar. One of the bartenders walked by us multiple times busting tables. He turned off the sign and  closed the door, never said one word to us. My boyfriend got up and asked if they were closing, confirmed by another staff that they were closing. Really? 10 minutes and you couldn't take a second to tell us your closing? Not a stop we care to do again.

  We walked in then looked at one another and smiled. Not too loud and not too quiet. Great selection of 10-12 beers on draught, most from MI (including Founder's, Dark House, New Holland). Bell's wasn't available on draught but was in a bottle. There was a selection of some bar snacks, which looked good, but we didn't try. We ended up staying for about two hours after a relaxing, fun time. Great addition to Old Town (and Lansing). We're already making plans to return.

  100% pure bar, but a bar with high end tastes. Excellent beer selection, eclectic mixed drinks, and affordable popcorn to boot. Clean, friendly interior. They just need a few plants in the beer garden. :)

  Zoobie's is the bar with the cool 50's atomic sign out front. The bar just reopened (new ownership) and they appear to be building a pretty impressive beer menu. The first time my girlfriend and I went we met up with friends in Old Town and stopped in to drink. Our waitress was responsive, the beer was malty, and overall good times were had. I didn't try the food but my friends did, and they polished off their plates; so, no complaints to be had.
  
  I've been a few times since and I'm happy to see that they are becoming significantly more popular. I have never had any of th problems other reviewers claim to have had with service. I always receive service timely and with a smile. Additionally, the crowd is very diverse, a few students, a few young professionals, some middle-aged locals, etc... Personally, I love that (it's also why I hate most of the E. Lansing bars).
  
  The bar has about a dozen beers on tap and approximately 35-45 beers available in total. They appear to have a good liquor selection; although I haven't throughly inspected it; but I will ;-)
  
  I've been craving a good beer bar following the demise of the "Travelers Club and Tuba Museum" (RIP), so this was an exciting find for me. I plan on going back with my friends. I suggest you try it too.
